My 600-Lb Life: Whatever Happened To JT?
The reality series "My 600-Lb Life" depicts the weight loss journeys of people who can be considered morbidly obese. Those who appear on the show work alongside Dr. Younan Nowzardan, aka Dr. Now, to shed as many pounds as possible before potentially undergoing a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass. One of the heaviest individuals featured is Julius "J.T." Clark, who weighed 892 pounds. In addition to various health issues associated with that weight, he also had a 100-pound lymphedema mass on his leg. Following Dr. Now's regimen, Clark lost over 400 pounds on the docuseries, ending at 491 pounds.
